LINWOOD BARCLAY is the author of twelve suspense novels, including his latest A Tap on the Window. Barclay wrote four comic thrillers and a memoir before turning to suspense novels. His first novel in that genre, No Time for Goodbye, has been translated into nearly forty languages, was the single bestselling novel in the UK in 2008. Since then, all of Linwood’s novels have appeared on bestseller lists, and two of his books are currently in development in Hollywood. Warner Bros. is working to turn Trust Your Eyes into a movie, with Hangover director Todd Phillips at the helm, and NBC is developing Never Look Away into a series. He turned to writing books full-time in 2008, after retiring from the Toronto Star, where he worked for 27 years in a variety of editing positions and then as the newspaper's humour columnist. His first newspaper job was at the Peterborough Examiner. Linwood studied English Literature at Trent University. @linwood_barclay
